2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 4
For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 4 is the first fill-in-the-blank title poem of the month.
Since it's our first Friday of the month, I just want to point out that weekends are the most frequent streak-breakers for these poem-a-day challenges. So stay vigilant on Saturday and Sunday!
For today's prompt, take the phrase "In the (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles might include: "In the Wrong," "In the Light of Day," "In the Heat of the Moment," and/or "In the Following Example." Have fun poeming!
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at an In the Blank Poem:
“In the Nick of Time”
Always made me wonder a bit
about Nick and his relationship
with time. Was he fast? Slow?
Or is it just one of those things
I don't completely comprehend
and should look up someday,
perhaps on Wikipedia? I guess
I could Rob time, but that's me.
